Best Christmas Gifts for Craft Beer Lovers for Under $50
Best Christmas Gifts for Craft Beer Lovers for Under $50
With just under 6 weeks to go until Christmas, this year I’ve made a promise to future me to get organised early so that she doesn’t have to race around in a blind panic in the last few days leading up to Christmas. That’s right! I’m going to gift myself a festive season without the enormous mental load and stress that tends to characterise the pre-Christmas period. Well, that’s the plan anyway! No last-minute dash to an overcrowded mall in search of gifts, and no stalking the postman and worrying if presents will arrive on time! Getting organised early also gives me more time to think about what the recipient will be pleased to unwrap. Not just another pair of joke socks for dad, or a fondue set that no one will ever use! Everyone has a fondue set at the back of the cupboard gathering dust from someone who went panic-shopping on Christmas Eve, right?
Anyway, on my quest to streamline Christmas gift-giving, I discovered a gold nugget on the internet that I think is worth sharing, so you can give your future-self a stress-free Chrissy too. You’re going to want to remember the next three words I tell you, ok?
That’s gifts for my adult male friends and relatives all taken care of in one place, because who doesn’t love a lovely cold craft beer? Not only will they be delivered to my door, they also come ready packaged in a gift box, and for a little extra they’ll even wrap them and add a gift tag! Oh, and delivery is FREE Australia-wide! Winning!

Jolene
Jolene enjoys writing, sharing and connecting with other like-minded women online – it also gives her the perfect excuse to ignore Mount-Washmore until it threatens to bury her family in an avalanche of Skylander T-shirts and Frozen Pyjama pants. (No one ever knows where the matching top is!) Likes: Reading, cooking, sketching, dancing (preferably with a Sav Blanc in one hand), social media, and sitting down on a toilet seat that one of her children hasn’t dripped, splashed or sprayed on. Dislikes: Writing pretentious crap about herself in online bio’s and refereeing arguments amongst her offspring.
